Our take on School Days
The school premise shares space with health management, finances, combat, exploration, and character editing. Classes and graduation provide structure, but schoolwork is one part of a broader daily routine rather than the sole focus.
What is School Days?
School Days is a real-time school simulation in which each day runs from getting out of bed through scheduled classes and the journey home.
Lessons provide knowledge used to answer questions in different subjects and work toward graduation grades. More than 100 other students contribute to a popularity system involving friendships, fear, and conflict, while relationships can develop with hundreds of characters. The city beyond the school contains interactive objects. Health, money, and an in-game economy add daily management tasks. Combat influenced by wrestling gives characters a way to confront bullies. Players can create a starting character and edit other characters, with changes saved across the school world.
